This week's guest Chris Barley began his teaching career through the NYC Teaching Fellowship in October 2005. Originally from a farm in Lancaster, PA, Chris never planned on becoming a teacher; he had his sights set on becoming a doctor. However,Chris quickly fell in love with languages and studied Spanish and Linguistics as an undergraduate at Georgetown University. Chris currently teaches at Essex Street Academy, a small school on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where he currently teaches Spanish and Portuguese.
